A news story about the president banning sports betting has gone viral on the internet, with many falling for the satiric story which was first published by News7pm.com.

A part of the report on the site read:

President of Ghana, His Excellency Nana Akufo Addo has ordered for Sports Betting to be banned immediately, Chief Satirist Baffour Gyawu can confidently report for News at 7.

The President made this order during an Independence after-party at Tamale in the Northern Region of Ghana.

Baffour Gyawu reports that the order came after three ministers who accompanied the President lost concentration as results of bet slips they lost when Young Boys led Luzern by four goals to nil in the 70th minute during their Switzerland Cup match.
